Keep the Pre-Filled Message Short
A concise message like 'Hi! I'd like to know more about...' converts better than a paragraph.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about whatsapp QR codes answered.
How does a WhatsApp QR code work?
It encodes a wa.me URL with your phone number and optional pre-filled text. When scanned, it opens the WhatsApp app directly to start a new conversation.
Does the customer need WhatsApp installed?
Yes. If WhatsApp is not installed, the link will prompt the user to download it from the App Store or Google Play.
Can I use this with WhatsApp Business?
Absolutely. WhatsApp Business numbers work exactly the same way. The QR code links to your Business account for professional conversations.
Is the pre-filled message mandatory?
No, it's optional. Without a pre-filled message, WhatsApp will simply open a blank chat window with your number.
